This fast entrée is excellent made with rice-potato-soy penne, rice penne, or regular wheat pasta. For a vegetarian dish, just use vegetable broth rather than chicken.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Cook penne as package directs. Meanwhile, in a medium covered saucepan, bring peas, broth, pepper, and salt to a boil over high heat. If needed, cook further just until tender. Purée half of pea mixture in a blender until smooth. Pour both pea mixtures over drained pasta in pasta pan. Stir in tarragon. Spoon into bowls. To each, add 1/4 cup ricotta in small spoonfuls and mix gently.
